Sun JRE Java Deployment Toolkit command execution
| jre-toolkit-command-execution (57615) |  High Risk |
Description:
Sun JRE could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by the improper validation of input by the launch() method in the Java Deployment Toolkit ActiveX control and NPAPI plugin. By persuading a victim to visit a specially-crafted Web page, an attacker could pass arbitrary command line arguments to javaws to download and execute a malicious JAR file placed on a network share.
